Library of 3D Models

One of the core milestones of the SENSO3D project is the development of an extensive, high-quality 3D model repository optimized for AR/VR environments.

1300+ 3D models created or integrated, including:
  • Office furniture (chairs, desks, whiteboards)
  • Business technology (monitors, microphones, projectors)
  • Architectural components (walls, floors, ceilings, windows)
  • Decorative elements (plants, lighting fixtures, paintings)
Structured Repository with Metadata
  • Every object is tagged with detailed metadata including.

    • Object category & material
    • Texture resolution
    • Lighting/shadow attributes
    • Unity compatibility data
    • Collision and physics settings
  • All assets are version-controlled and stored in a Git-based repository for easy integration and updates.

Visual Suggestion: Include a screenshot or infographic of the model repository interface with metadata fields.

Advanced AI Tools

SENSO3D leverages powerful AI-driven workflows to generate and manage 3D content efficiently:

2D-to-3D Object Reconstruction

  • AI models convert 2D images into fully-fledged 3D assets.
  • Works with both real-world photos and user-submitted sketches.
  • Real-time object detection from images, even with occlusions.

Texture Generation

  • No-texture models are now enhanced via AI-based description-to-texture generation.
  • A two-step process:

    • AI model describes object characteristics (color, material).
    • A texture synthesis engine maps textures accordingly.

Object Description & Classification

  • Automatic assignment of:

    • Object type, function, and environment context
    • Orientation and size estimation
    • Keywords for prompt-based search and retrieval

Visual Suggestion: Include before/after of a 2D image → 3D model with texture + screenshot of AI classification interface.

Demo Environments: Lobby & Conference Room

To showcase the real-world usability of the system, two fully interactive and modular demo environments were developed in Unity:

3D Lobby

  • A welcoming virtual entrance environment with:

    • Reception desk, seating, plants, screens
    • Reception desk, seating, plants, screens

3D Conference Room

  • Designed for virtual meetings and collaboration:

    • Includes configurable tables, ergonomic chairs, whiteboards, and AV tech
    • Supports realistic physics and spatial audio

Scenes are

  • Built from reusable prefabs
  • Populated using AI-generated models
  • Compatible with Unity XR and WebXR

Visual Suggestion: Add panoramic screenshots of both environments showing lighting, layout, and interaction.

Prompt-Based Scene Creation Tool

One of the flagship innovations of Sprint 3 is the Prompt-Based Tool, enabling users to create entire 3D environments using natural language.

How it works:

  1. User describes a scene (e.g., “A modern meeting room with a round table and eight chairs”).
  2. The AI interprets the prompt using NLP (Natural Language Processing).
  3. It fetches relevant 3D models from the repository and places them intelligently in a Unity scene.
  4. Users can fine-tune the scene (object size, lighting, textures).

This tool dramatically lowers the entry barrier for non-technical users and accelerates prototyping.

Visual Suggestion: Show a side-by-side of the text input and the generated scene output.
